Buy One, Give One Jaggy

When I first visited the Child Advocacy Center, I walked through the doors a confused and

frightened little girl. To help reduce my anxiety during the interview process,

my counselor let me pick a stuffed animal from their collection. I chose a plush snow "jaguar" 

whom I immediately named “Jaggy.”

 

Jaggy became my constant companion throughout my healing journey.  I carried him

with me everywhere and slept with Jaggy every night. Today, he is a bit ragged

and frayed from all the love I gave him over the years, but he still sits proudly on

my bed-- a reminder of how far I have come. It wasn't until years later that I discovered my

beloved snow "jaguar" was actually a snow leopard!   

 

Snow leopards are not only breathtakingly beautiful but also endangered.  They must overcome

harsh environments and difficult circumstances to survive - much like children overcoming abuse. 

To me, Jaggy symbolizes the courage, perseverance, innate beauty, and triumph of these children,

while acknowledging their vulnerability.  This is why he graces the EvieActs.org logo. 

 

That is why I donate stuffed animals to the CAC to help comfort children and reduce their fears. 

The "Buy One, Give One" program is the perfect addition to our mission

 of Advocating for Children of Trauma.

 

Will you help give these children their own Jaggy to love?

 

When you buy one for yourself, we will donate one to a Child Advocacy Center.

Or, you can just buy one (or several) to donate. THANK YOU for helping a child

receive one of these stuffed animals to give them comfort during their healing process!

​​Jaggy and I thank you!

Have I not commanded you? 

Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS; Do not be terrified,

Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God

will be with you wherever you go.  Joshua 1:9
